From the 16th - 17th September 2019, Nathan Eaton and Sam Atkinson from NGIS attended the Geo for Good summit in Sunnyvale, California. The Summit, hosted by Google Earth Outreach, gathered technologists, GIS professionals, remote sensing specialists and others working on projects using Google Earth, Earth Engine and other Geo tools to create new knowledge, raise awareness and enable action. 

Nathan and Sam were pleased to attend the event, which was the largest Geo for Good Google has organised.

They caught up with the NGIS team for an episode of the podcast '[Location Matters](https://ngis.com.au/Newsroom/Podcast?__hstc=111871451.aa8a55309a5eda14f101f4c003c8e166.1583822459259.1591319447040.1591334145590.48&__hssc=111871451.3.1591334145590&__hsfp=2144636979)' where they covered off their experience in the States.
